Are we letting the guys that failed out of school before sixth grade write columns involving technical subjects now?

Here, 5 bloody seconds of google can help you out there:

Article is MAJOR FAIL. "Fracking" is not a "drilling method". It is a process to develop a well after it has been drilled. It is also NOT controversial. It is a solid practice that works almost every time.

I hate to break it to you, but the media has been lying to you. This is nothing new. They have been fracturing wells almost since day one of the petroleum industry. Back in the late 1800's it was done with nitroglycerine, that was lowered into the wells in a "torpedo" that was detonated.

"On a rig, they used to work three crews of five men," said Curtis. "You would have an eight hour shift. Now, they're working two crews of five men over 12 hour shifts.It's unsafe. We loose a lot guys when they are driving home.

I guess when you have a never ending stream of people willing to work, you don't have to worry about if they die on the way home from a shift.

Well then. Thanks for clearing that up. No reason for anyone to have any further concerns.

Naritai:GhostFish: You could make the same kinds of braindead arguments against alcohol, homosexuality or international army bases.Irresponsible behavior, destruction and disease follow in their wake.

I believe if you were to poll the residents of Okinawa, you would find the exact same arguments being made.

My aunt is an employee on a marine base in Okinawa. The US bases are a blessing and a curse for those people. The soldiers/marines/etc are a pretty rowdy bunch and tear things up, including some very unfortunate young women. On the other hand, the bases are the foundation of their economy. If they kick the Americans out, which they can if they chose to, their economy crashes back to an agrarian stage. So every election cycle they go back and forth over it. It's rather terrible, but they benefit by living with the monster.

Man, idiots have really ruined words. The mere fact that "chemicals" was bolded made me instantly suspicious(turns out it was just a link to the details of the chemical composition, including things that are actually unsafe, like benzene).

The actual point of the article only matters if you assume that rapid, unplanned industrial development wouldn't occur without fracking. But I'm really more annoyed at the people who abuse the word "chemical".

Says Rex Tillerson when he's not suing to keep fracking away from his horse ranch.

I've seen that trick done in parts of PA that don't have fracking, too. Sucks when natural gas gets into your well.

Unless she's getting her water from about 7,000 feet down, it's not likely that hydro fracturing had anything to do with her problem.

It's almost as if Pennsylvania had decades and decades of unregulated oil well drilling as well.

It didn't. Her water supply had a venting cap used for venting methane from the water before the drilling ever started in the area.I haven't analyzed her water, but I would imagine it contains very little of the signature hydrocarbons that were in the formation that was fracked.Methane in water is a fact in many areas. Heavy hydrocarbons is rare. In some areas of Texas, the shallow water wells came up with oil and no water. Large portions of the county where there never was fresh water. Just oil. Most of oil was pulled out in the 20s. The reservoir was created when submarine volcanoes erupted. Then altered by sea water, covered for a while and oil injected to a depth of around 350 feet. Some submarine volcanoes actually have been exposed at the surface .There's a real neat one exposed at the surface just south of Austin's airport.

Fracking may not be all bad (fun fact: fracking can also be used to stimulate water wells) but it's not all good, either. Fracking oil shales brings jobs and some measure of economic development as well as more energy independence. I hadn't even thought about the social consequences so this article was interesting. There's a lot of websites out there with information about fracking that makes it sound like it's not that bad that are written by the oil and gas industry. But they have business practices that should be of concern.

She hooked a propane tank up to the water supply to do that. At least that is how some people are explaining away the flaming water videos.

No, she has a well that has methane in it. It isnt because of fracking. Its called methane migration.

So fishing is almost 5 times more dangerous than working on an oil rig. Gee, I wonder what else was wrong in the article. Maybe he didn't get clap from fracking but from farking a whore instead. One thing is certain, Peter Rugh is a dumbass.
